Chapter 908 - Confronting the Gu Family
"Are you guys ready?" Yuan asked Meixiu and the others after returning to the starting city.
"I'm ready." Chu Liuxiang nodded.
"Same." Meixiu said.
Li Jinxi silently nodded.
"Great. Now then… which way is the Stairway to Heaven?" Yuan asked his companions.
Xiao Hua appeared the next moment and pointed in a certain direction.
"Since I don't want to take up too much of your time, let's fly there." Yuan said afterward.
"Fly?" Li Jinxi raised her eyebrows.
Yuan then used Qi Manifestation to wrap his spiritual energy around them before lifting them into the air.
Although Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang were used to the feeling of flight, this was Li Jinxi's first time flying in such a manner.
"Brother Yuan, do you need help?" Xiao Hua asked him.
"It's fine. I have plenty of spiritual energy." He said.
Thus, they began flying towards the Stairway to Heaven, unaware of the army waiting for them.
Meanwhile, somewhere near the Stairway to Heaven.
"Patriarch Gu, there is still no sign of this 'Yuan'. Do you think the information provided to us could be fake? It's already been a week since we've started camping out here." An elder of the Gu Family said.
"No, that's not possible. The person who provided me this information is a reputable source. He wouldn't lie to me." Patriarch Gu said.
And he continued, "We'll wait here for a whole month if we have to. Stay vigilant. You never know when he'll show up."
"Yes."
Meanwhile, inside the House of Riches, Gu Xiulan was lying on the couch staring at the Spirit Jade Feng Yuxiang gave to her when someone knocked on her door.
"What is it?" Gu Xiulan stored the Spirit Jade away and turned to look at the door.
"Manager, have you heard? Patriarch Gu left the Gu Family with over a thousand experts and stationed themselves around the Stairway to Heaven."
"What? When did this happen?" Gu Xiulan frowned.
"About a week ago."
"Do you know why?"
"No, I don't."
After pondering for a moment, two figures suddenly appeared inside her head.
'Oh no! Don't tell me it's because of them!' Gu Xiulan immediately sat up on the bed and retrieved a communication jade slip.
"Damn it! He's not picking up! What's that idiot doing?!"
Gu Xiulan rushed outside and said, "I will be away for a bit!"
After leaving the House of Riches, Gu Xiulan began flying towards the direction of the Stairway to Heaven.
'I really hope I won't be too late to stop their foolishness!' She prayed as she flew.
"Hmm? Why are there so many people here?" Yuan wondered out loud as they approached the Stairway to Heaven and noticed the people at the bottom.
"Halt!"
A loud voice suddenly resounded, and a figure with the strength of a Spirit Grandmaster approached them a moment later.
"State your name!" The Spirit Grandmaster demanded.
"Huh? Why do I have to give you my name?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"Insolence! You're standing before the Gu Family, one of Seven Legacy Families! I will not repeat myself! Identify yourselves!" The Spirit Grandmaster repeated.
'Gu Family, huh? Why are they out here? Are they waiting for us— for me?' Yuan wondered inwardly.
"My name is Tian Chenyu." Yuan calmly responded.
He turned to look at the others and nodded his head.
"Chu Liuxiang."
"Meixiu."
"Li Jinxi."
